Many people supporting AI art really are clueless. Instant gratification is all there is here. Though I can see it being used for some meaningful work, its just where the images were sourced from makes it disturbing to use. That and the endless saturation, any iota or creativity even in the prompts is totally lost on me.
I've been seeing this sort of thing a lot; person shares objectively cool image, gets a compliment, doesn't mention it was AI. A lot of "I made" "I did" "my" language. In a 3d software you can load some premade assets and click a button to render the image. Did you now create and render the image? Or was it the software?…
Indeed, an informative articulately written piece. There are a lot of trade-offs, and no easy answers. Artists and creators will be harmed economically, and it’s nearly certain that industries will be disrupted or even destroyed, although perhaps it’s too early to say which ones and how soon. It’s possible that the…
I must say that I am now genuinely torn between two very conflicting states : • On one hand the combative spirit is a powerful driver, and the rollercoaster of the last few days/weeks put a lot of incredibly important things in sharp perspective : how one expresses oneself through their craft as imperfect as it may be, and…
how can you search the database and find your medical information in form of pictures, if the pictures arent stored? How can you paint a picture if the image isn't stored in your brain? It both has the same answer. You learned the concept. This is what AI makes so fascinating. It learned what grass is, what a face is, and…
@Tiles But we've already shown examples of pixel-per-pixel (more or less) copies of prominent images, in one of the other AI threads. If "The main concern here so far was that "these basterds uses my data", which they don't. Not a single grain of copyright is touched. They use it for training by simply looking at it.…
The tech is here, nobody will take it away. But there are a few things that need to be fixed. The first and foremost would be making sure how its sourcing its inputs. Using an open source library that was made to study, in a commercial sense will have to stop or there will have to be systems in place to compensate. I feel…
@Tiles But we've already shown examples of pixel-per-pixel (more or less) copies of prominent images, in one of the other AI threads. Yes, you can make content that looks similar. The more famous an image is, the closer AI will come to it. But it is not pixel by pixel. And you can do similar images with Photoshop or Krita…
I know that it feels wrong to you that AI looks at your images and then draws in your style. But feeling doesn't count. This part is simply not illegal. Style cannot be patented. Maybe in the future there is some regulation. But not now. Well I mean, it sort of counts. You seem to have this interesting viewpoint that it…
If the AI could learn the way a person did, then why can't it remember what.. Shrek looks like without making hideous morphed monstrosities of him over and over after getting it right a few times. Why doesn't it just spurt out a 3d model of him since it has tons of angles, it should be able to illustrate full turn tables…
